Q: Any particular memories of doing earlier productions in San Diego, such as “Hamlet” at San Diego Rep?

A: I remember (Rep artistic chief) Sam Woodhouse was playing the gravedigger and forgot to bring the skull out onstage one night, which was a bit of a challenge. Oh, the joys of theater. It’s never the same. Especially this play I’m doing now, it’s just such an obstacle course. Always, there’s something that will go wrong. There’s always these anomalies. Things probably will even out, but there’s just that ever-present danger of things going terribly wrong. Which keeps it ever-interesting. It’s hard to get bored.
